Lord Shadow

‘We send an envoy to Pandemonium. This is the right course of action. We must not make an exception if we don’t want our effort to become useless’ Emperor of Wei spoke from his seat. Hirate rub his chin and sighing he said

‘I’m not going to take responsibility for this alone’ Hirate had to relent. Even he knew how shameless he tries to cover up for Pandemonium

‘All of us will sign the petition.’ Nunurai said. Boris nodded and then he added

‘Let me make something very clear here. We could summon him and we could judge him according to the laws but let us not get in over our heads. Nobody here wants a conflict with Pandemonium, right?’ he asks and after a few moments of silence the other nodded

‘Good’ Boris said and then he added

‘The least we could do is fine him. And we have to explain this to him before we tell him what the summon is about. That he just need to make an appearance of going to the World Court, we will then list out what he had done and we fined him a few million energy stone and that will be it. Understood? I, for one, will not join in a war against Pandemonium. After all, he is there.’ Boris suggested.

He out of everyone was not pleased with Death Monarch.

But he also knows the difficulty of removing such a huge mountain that towered above all others.

Trying to remove it would create an avalanche that the world could not endure. That is even if they could move the mountain.

The reason why he proposed such lenient condition is a reason everyone understood.

They did not want to push Death Monarch too much

he also knew that if they push Death Monarch too much, and he went mad, then a Great War might erupt between the Six Great Power and Pandemonium.

That would be a World War. Humanity is just in the recovery phase.

If such a grand and massive war is started, humanity might not be able to bear the brunt and the damaged that would have resulted in such a great war.

Hirate look at Boris and they both nodded at each other. They have reached an understanding. Hirate sighs

Hirate after the many setbacks and the failures he had experience dealing with Death Monarch had made him become more mature and wary against this person that he hated, fear and even in some instances respected.

All of these experiences have changed him. The selfish man that pretends to be a righteous person is slowly becoming that righteous person.

He had been pretending to be a righteous person for so long, that he slowly become a righteous person.

He is not entirely free of greed but he no longer possesses such possessive greed that would destroy the world.

He had learned pain when he was young. But what he didn’t learn was how everybody else also have their own pain. He did not lack the ability to empathize with other people.

The fact was when he was young, he had no leisure moment to empathize with other people when his entire life is a battle against an unfair world.

He seeks power and influence regardless of anything. And he became monstrous because the people he fought are all monsters.

But becoming the President of the World Government he tries to unify the heart of the people and pretending to be good and righteous, using the One World Government slogan.

And he began to be surrounded by those people who truly believe in this ideas and his noble aspiration.

And these people are like a ray of light in the darkness of the world

And like a fish that have been living in complete darkness, that have lost its sight because of the darkness, a ray of light surrounded him.

And slowly, like a miracle, he could see and he could feel and he slowly gravitate to its warmth. And so, he become less hideous.

Hirate close his eyes as he thinks of many things.

For many that survives and saw the horrors of the Weronian War, they were changed by such experience.

Pandikar was the one that change the most which promoted him to seek battle with Death Monarch.

His death changes the world.

To the high ranking members of the World Government, there is no doubt that Pandikar death changed the world because in his death, he manages to do the impossible.

To make Death Monarch changes his mind. If Pandikar is still alive, he might have been fine dying knowing that his act of dying had prompted Death Monarch to care

Nowadays, Hirate is truly worried about the declining population of humanity and the fate of humanity itself.

It is why he created Project Genesis and why he invested in the World Gate research and development.

He wanted humanity to have a chance of survival. Next time, another alien civilization came to Earth, they might be even more powerful and they might not be harmless or peaceful like the Orvanians.

Hirate out of everyone in this room knows that there is countless of civilization beyond the stars and while some of them are peaceful, some of them are not.

That is the matter of humanity. On the other hand, what they are discussing now is about Pandemonium.

They all do not welcome a great war between them and Pandemonium.

if such a great war erupts, it is still not clear where the other great powers will stand.

World Government might not necessarily join the alliance of the other six great power.

As for Boris, even he himself is not sure that he would stand on the side of the four great powers considering the complicated relationship between his sister and Death Monarch

Whatever the case, his suggestion was meant to appease the populace and assure that the law and order that has been established is still intact.

What Eric said was not entirely unreasonable. If one man were allowed to flout the laws, then others would also come to the conclusion, that they too could flout the laws if they were as powerful as Death Monarch.

The more it is like that, the weaker the law became. Until it is rendered useless.

And they could not allow that.

Peace was built upon that law.

There is a reason why Disk Formation leveler all toe the line.

They were only employed when the other side also employs a Disk Formation leveler and this has created a system

Most of Disk Formation leveler become General of the army, standing on high position in many administration and military governance of the Seven Great Powers and did not battle one on one in the battlefield with the rest of the soldiers

The battle between a Disk Formation leveler could change the terrains of the world, sunk island and cleave mountains apart

Such power is akin using a powerful weapon of mass destruction. Boris sighed.

Then he said

‘I don’t think that Death Monarch would be that angry if we explain this to him.’ The other leaders nodded. Only Hirate did not show any response.

To everyone this is a good idea.

Of course this matter does not need to be leaked to other people.

They probably would stage the whole thing and fine Pandemonium with a few millions of energy stones which is only a paltry amount to Pandemonium which had a lot of energy stone mine.

Then they would release a statement that said Death Monarch had accepted his judgment at the World Court.

As for how to explain the death of so many people in the archipelago, they would release a statement that said all the people that was there is the member of the Crime Alliance and they could also pin some other crime on them like human experimentation or any other crime that is suitable to enhance people anger toward the Crime Alliance.

Everyone would be happy and nobody would lose anything.

The populace would be happy that the law still remains intact and show that even the strongest person in the world could not get out of the law without anything happening to him.

Of course, they would publish that even though Death Monarch intention is noble, he still break the law of the Article and as the one that drafted the law he acknowledges his fault and think carefully before doing such thing again.

The crux of the matter is not the fact that Death Monarch kills a member of the Crime Alliance.

The crux of the matter was that he killed a Disk Formation levelers without authorization and without any agreement with the other great powers.

It is arbitrary and lawless.
